Purpose: The Learning Center was designed to help equip members of the resettlement community to find quality, affordable housing for refugees.

How to Use the Learning Center Resources: On your first visit to this page, we recommend you take the following steps:

1. Click on the link below titled “Learner Manual: Finding Housing – Part One” to open/download and print the manual designed to accompany the self-paced training course. This file is in PDF format. If you do not have PDF installed on your computer, click here to download the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader.

2. The program contains a budget exercise. We suggest you download the budget template spreadsheet for this exercise before downloading the training files “FINDING HOUSING:PART ONE” and "FINDING HOUSING: PART TWO” . These files are big, so please be patient as they are downloading. It takes awhile.

You will be prompted to complete a short registration form before the training starts.

At the end of the course you will be prompted to complete a short online evaluation form.

This self-paced course takes approximately 30-45 minutes to complete

As this course includes audio narration, we recommend using a computer that has a sound card and speakers or a jack for a headset. Double-clickfor a short sound bite to test your audio capabilities and volume level. The narration is designed to expand upon the on-screen text, thus you will still benefit from 90% of the information even if you do not have audio capabilities.
